History & Place is the second volume in The Human Record. It carries the structure readers know from Culture Generale into new ground: 126 discussion cards arranged in six groups, from Origins & First Civilizations through Empires & Exchanges, Encounters & Upheavals, Revolutions & Industries, and Modern Crossroads, closing with an atlas of the places that made us. Each card is built around a single moment, figure, or place and the knowledge behind it, something worth knowing and worth talking about. Made for guides, families, classrooms, and curious readers, it turns the human past into something to think about, question, and discuss.
